Description

Finast® is manufactured by Dr. Reddy's. Finast® treats BPH along with hair loss in men.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign prostatic hypertrophy/prostatic adenoma) is an overgrowth of cells in the central portion of the prostate. This squeezes the urethra, reduces the urine flow and makes it difficult for the patient to void his bladder.

Finast’s® active chemical compound is Finasteride – a type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which blocks the conversion of testosterone to the potent androgen 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a critical mediator of prostate growth. As the enzymatic conversion of testosterone to DHT is inhibited by Finasteride, a desirable reduction in prostate enlargement is achieved, and urine flow should be improved.

The action of Finasteride is also revealed to be beneficial at halting hair loss in men with MPHL. MPHL is a hereditary condition (also known as androgenetic alopecia or AGA; male pattern baldness or MPB) in which the hair follicles are particularly sensitive to the sex hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Thus, taking Finast® men tackle two problems at a time.

Remember, that it is not recommended to take Finast® to treat MPHL only, as primary hair loss therapy should be provided with 1 mg of Finasteride daily (Finpecia, Proscalpin, Fenered, Finalo,Finax, Propecia).

Besides the aforementioned conditions, Finast® can be effective in the treatment of hirsute females with either PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) or with idiopathic hirsutism.

Finasteride has the same properties as antiandrogens flutamide (non-steroidal antiandrogen or NSAA), spironolactone (potassium-sparing diuretic) and cyproterone acetate (CPA). Flutamide, spironolactone and CPA block the activity of androgens, steroidal hormones responsible for human hair growth. Finasteride in its turn reduces androgen-dependent hair development by hindering 5-alpha-reductase action and the peripheral conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), hence decreases hirsutism in women after 6 months.

Finast® decreases urge to urinate, provides better urine flow with less straining, less of a feeling that the bladder is not completely emptied, and decreased nighttime urination.

Dosage

For the treatment of BPH:

Take one tablet orally (by mouth) once a day, with or without food.

You should take the Finast® at the same time every day.

Take Finast® daily for at least 6 months or more if necessary before any noticeable results occur.

If Finast® has not worked for you over a 12 months course then it is unlikely that further treatment will benefit.

Do not stop taking Finast® suddenly, as any therapeutic benefits will be reversed.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you want to stop the treatment before time or if you are intended to prolong treatment.

For the second-line treatment of mild hirsutism:

Only in adult, non-pregnant women with PCOS or with idiopathic hirsutism:

Take one tablet of Finast® orally (by mouth) once daily.

Take Finast® daily for at least 6 months or more if necessary before any noticeable results occur.

If Finast® has not worked for you over a 12 months course then it is unlikely that further treatment will benefit.

Do not stop taking Finast® suddenly, as any therapeutic benefits will be reversed.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you want to stop the treatment before time or if you are intended to prolong treatment.

Missing a dose

If you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you remember about your missing. If it is the time for the next dose you should continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not exceed the doctor's recommended dose.

Overdose

If an overdose occurs and you are feeling unwell, you should seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Storage

Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F) and away from excess moisture and heat. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date. Keep out of the reach of children.
